Throne Room Impressiveness

[Narrowmind]

Is it actually possible to get 160 room impressiveness with the minimum requirements? I'm not convinced that it is. If so, how?

It is possible, even beyond that in vanilla rimworld. Some of it is largely based on the materials used to build certain things.

For example, 6 pillars are required for a Count's throneroom. Build 'em out of gold for 40 beauty each, and a couple of grand sculptures of good quality+ out of at least marble or better for beauty bonus.
However, you'll want to go a little over 160 impressiveness so that you have some 'impressiveness HP' for when the place gets dirty.

Just throw a piece of art down. I've got a few grand sculptures with 800+ beauty around my base, keeps my throne room and altar room at extremely impressive


But yeah you can do it with gold or masterwork/legendary pillars and thrones

I'm more interested in the minimum requirements. Even if you build everything out of gold, It would seem difficult to push it so high because of diminishing returns. Even if you do use grand sculptures, that takes away from the size of the room, doesn't it, with 80 tiles.

Maybe. At most if you want to make due without sculptures, you'll need to build the floor out of gold, or as much of it out of gold.
e.g to build a floor area of 80 total tiles (the floor area, not the walls) out of gold requires 5600 units of it (70 gold per tile), and each tile of gold is 11 beauty each. You can build everything else out of cheaper materials to still each over the 160 requirement for impressiveness.

Yeah, you're right. It's the ingredients. With a gold floor - I guess that counts as fine floored - gold columns, thrum drapes, along with a gold throne, it is 188 impressiveness. lol Okay. First time using dev. I guess it was a simple question. But no one will be building something like this in a normal game. It's unreasonable. I guess it's just going to have to be huge to keep the costs down. I remember putting a tonnn of small statues in there and it was only increasing the impressiveness by like 1 a piece.

[Metrod125]

Yup, solely based on materials used except fine carpet/fine stone floors.

Don't forget that everything you add to the room decreases the number of open spaces (which reduces impressiveness) so you can't just fill the room with 50 beauty statues. Install only the best you can and as little as you can. You probably want the small throne for that same reason. One thing that doesn't take up space are the slabs that go on top of the floors, they add a bit of beauty without taking away space.

Some interesting ideas. Will remember. 25 tiles of fine flooring is equal to 3 impressiveness.

Golden, silver, and jade add more beauty and impressive news when turned into things, even fences.

I have used this trick to qualify for the last rank of royal with min room requirements otherwise.
